Male Bullfinch
Canon 1Dmk4, 300mm 2.8, 200 ISO.

A bit big in the frame for my taste. OK for web use to show the bird in fine detail, but if you print this at any size at all you will find that it all starts to look a bit uncomfortable.
Not sure what you've done in processing, but it looks to be very contrasty, so much so that the blacks on the tail are almost total with no real detail.

Fine captured this beautiful bird Gary. For my taste it is a bit too centered and I agree with John
about too big in the frame. BG and head turn is perfect.

Very nice head turn and the comp is ok for me; does look a bit contrasty on my monitor.
